Description:
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan while addressing the party's long march on Friday said he will announce the date he will join the long march in Rawalpindi tomorrow
Imran said "prosperity is necessarily dependent upon justice" as he asserted that "hard-working" Pakistanis were leaving the country to seek economic security because the "system is not just".
"Whenever I ask overseas Pakistanis why they do not do business in Pakistan they tell me that they do not have faith in the system," he added.
Long march 'referendum against imported setup'
Earlier PTI Vice Chairman Shah Mehmood Qureshi said that "the massive public participation in the long march is a referendum against the imported setup, and in favor of true independence" as the party continued its march towards the capital.
Raising alarm over the country's dwindling economy, the PTI leader claimed that "the country's economy is on the brink of collapse".

"The IMF talks have been postponed, the joint session of the emergency cabinet has also been postponed. No one knows what is going to happen. The country is under the influence of speculation and rumours," he said, adding that "all decisions will be made until November 30".
A day earlier, Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Umar Ata Bandial had dismissed a petition to stop the ‘Haqeeqi Azadi’ march and remarked that it was a political problem that can be solved politically.
On the other hand, earlier today the Islamabad High Court (IHC) directed the PTI to submit a fresh application to the capital’s administration for permission to hold a rally, asking the party to ensure that the fundamental rights of the citizens are not affected.
